Kaiser-Franz-Josef Hütten, Tyrol, Austria [Monday, daytime]

[thatsweirdright]

Good morning Fandom High students, teachers, and assorted guests! Ready to hit the slopes? The answer had better be 'yes', because that's what was happening today whether you liked it or not. Once your lesson was done, of course, you were free to do as you wished, whether that was continue hurtling down a mountain at ridiculous speeds while strapped to long sticks, or go warm up with some delicious hot beverages.

Your Huts

[thatsweirdright]

There are four huts (well, huts that sleep eight and have saunas, living rooms, and fireplaces, so your definition of hut may vary), and everyone is paired up for sleeping (in rooms with either a double bed or bunk beds depending on which is funnier to you, with shared living space for the eight of you to mingle, roast marshmallows, throwing raging parties involving schnapps, etc.

[OOC: Please knock before entering another group's hut, and as always NFB posts should be put into personal journals. Hut assignments are here]

Steve was up bright and early (of course), climbing down from his top bunk in a truly ridiculous pair of bright blue Captain America-themed pajamas.

"Rise and shine!"

Ugh, morning people were the worst.

"Coffee," Tony grumbled, not even emerging from his blanket cocoon.

Breakfast Time

[thatsweirdright]

Rolls and jam, bread and ham, bread and Nutella? Maybe one of each! And coffee. So much coffee.

On the Slopes!

Mandatory Fun on the Slopes

[thatsweirdright]

The lodge helpfully provides buses to take us to our ski lessons. Sadly for you, those buses leave way sooner than your teenaged selves want to get up for it. Here you are provided with ski equipment and ski instructors for your group as you self-select for level of skiing prowess. Please keep the number of broken legs to a minimum, gang. It's only the first day.

Beginners

What it says on the tin!

Aloy eyed the flat sticks she was supposed to put on her feet. "So... what is the purpose of this again?" she asked.

She turned her head and watched the slopes for a moment, tuning out the ski instructor.

"Of course. Speed."

That was not the lesson the instructor had been trying to impart.

Re: Beginners

[giveherahand]

"How hard can it be?" Mara asked with a philosophical little shrug. "Gravity's going to do most of the work, right?"

Re: Beginners

[era_two_triangle]

Well... Peridot had better things to be doing with her time (mostly involving getting buried under snow drifts that were easily taller than she was), but once she had skis on her feet she was kind of stuck for it, wasn't she?

She watched people going down the ski hill for a few minutes, and then looked down at the boots on her feet. She'd be more thrilled about the mandatory appearance modifiers if the ski attachments weren't so big and ungainly.

"Oh. My. God." Yang, stop tripping over your skis. "People do this for fun?"

Someone was from a flat-ish island, yes.

Intermediate

[thatsweirdright]

If you've done this once or twice...

Re: Intermediate

[revengenotebook]

Paris might qualify for advanced skiing, but she wasn't confident in her ability not to break her leg on the Alps. Plus this instructor seemed cuter than the other one, so...priorities.

Re: Intermediate

[furnaceface]

Jono was fairly certain that, after fighting a guerilla war in the mountains of a territory called Glacia, he probably qualified as an expert. But that had been a few years back, in an entirely different body, so he'd at least made a slight nod to common sense and opted to take the intermediate class, instead.

He was even rocking a new scarf today. Because... hell. It was chilly, and the scarf was admittedly pretty cozy. So, there was that.

Advanced

[thatsweirdright]

Those of you who make a habit of hurtling down mountains at ridiculous speeds, go here.

Re: Advanced

[magnusrushesin]

Magnus really should have gone with one of the easier slopes, but here he was instead. Making use of his athletics skills.

"THIS IS AWESOME."

And shouting a lot as he hurtled downhill at high speeds.

Après ski

[thatsweirdright]

You could go skiing some more after the lesson, OR you could drink hot chocolate down in the valley and try to get feeling back into your feet.

Re: Après ski

[sith_happened]

Anakin wasn't one for showing off skills he wasn't immediately spectacular at, so...hot chocolate it was!

OOC! [Fall 2017]

[thatsweirdright]

FYI apparently Imagine Dragons don't really do a great live show. Just puttin that out there.

Re: OOC! [Fall 2017]

[sharp_man]

NGL, that's disappointing. I love their albums! But it does make me feel better about not being able to afford the show when they were here.
